this is an hour from this morning's washington journal. for our next hour a discussion on the prison systems particularly overcrowding and what it means for sentencing. this is spurred on by the skwroerpb general who spoke this week on this topic and at the meeting at the american bar association he talked about proposals he made to end mandatory minimum sentences for non violent drug offenders and he had bipartisan congressional support. here's what he had to say. >> why i have mandateed a modification of the justice department's charging policies so certain low-level non violent drug offenders who have no ties to cartels or organizations will no longer be charged with offenses minimum sentences. they'll now be charged with offenses for which the accompanying sentences are better suited to their individual conduct rather than access shiv prison terms more appropriate for violent criminals or drug king pins. by observing the most severe personalities for serious high level drug traffickers we can better promote rehabilitation while making
